Another Paper Prompt from Daisy Yellow : )

I combined this prompt with a positive affirmation and worked in my art journal. Actually, first I started outside of the journal, stitching paper onto a plain index card I had leftover from doing the ICAD Project with Daisy Yellow. I chose a variety of papers and then did some machine stitching of some of them onto my purple index card . . .

I love sewing on paper so this prompt was fun for me. I tried to think of a

different way to stitch paper than I had before, just to keep it fresh.

Then, for the background pages in my journal, I picked a funny paper napkin.

Pulling off the two layers underneath the printed one and throwing them away, I worked only with the top thin layer.

I used matte medium on the pages and on top of the paper napkin.

DO you see what the napkin says?? Look closer, click on the photo!

I dreamed my whole house was clean

(smile, don't we all wish!)

I felt I needed to cut the index card in half, in order to get it to look good in my eyes...

I do think it was a good idea!

I think your affirmations journal is AWEsome!! So cool. And I adore Anne Taintor sayings. Sewing on paper ... just love that ... and I want you to know that sharing your journal and index cards has been so inspiring ... I have created a couple myself (going with the prompts that call to me) or just riffing off the idea of spending even just a short time creating with what's on hand is very satisfying ... thanks, Lenna!!

And ps ... LOVE the new creativelenna.tumblr.com format ... looks fab (and I would leave a note there, but my interface with "Disqus" is still in a spin ... must be something on my end) ... and thank you for posting in both places! :-)

A fabulous idea - an Affirmation journal. Doesn't get better than that. Love this spread, Lenna. Beautiful colours. You were asking if I meditate with Depak. I have not missed one of his free guided meditations. They are awesome. I'm sure you are falling in love with them as well. Great way to begin my morning. Enjoy. xoDonna

about me . . .

I'm a creative artist working in mixed-media who lives in Florida with my husband Steve and our dog Chloe, cats Lightning & Luna... I love to create, to share & inspire. I also enjoy dancing, taking photographs, working in my art journals, creating small collage & mail art, really doing anything creative! We are fortunate to live on the Braden River, traveling by boat quite a lot.

I've been published in books, magazines and hosted many art exchanges or swaps. View the past swap art I've hosted & learn about any new swaps on the creativeswaps blog.

My website has been online since 1995 with many thanks to my son Decklin! When he was just 14 years old he coded a website for me, amazing. About 20 years later I built a brand new site for myself with Squarespace. It's a work in progress, but I'm very proud of what I've managed to do! ❤ Go here to view it: creative lenna website

Between 2006-2015, I wrote and shared over 1000 entries on creativelenna blogspot. I do not add posts to this blog anymore because I've created my own personal blog as part of the creative lenna website. But, the original blog remains online as an archive. The current blog is found on my new website. ❤
